📰 Medium · Machine Learning

Learn to build a machine learning project using linear regression to predict student exam scores and understand the basics of ML model development

beginner Published 11 Jun 2026
Action Steps
  1. Build a dataset of student exam scores and relevant features using a spreadsheet or a database
  2. Run a linear regression algorithm on the dataset to predict student exam scores
  3. Configure the model by selecting the most relevant features and tuning hyperparameters
  4. Test the model using a validation set to evaluate its performance
  5. Apply the model to make predictions on new, unseen data
